The wheels are spinning but the stroller isn't going anywhere.

What starts out as a fun and intriguing premise ultimately gets sunk when the plot begins dragging around the halfway mark and never really picks back up again until the finale. I can't help but feel like this would have been better off being made as a movie as opposed to stretching a plot like this out over eight half-hour long episodes.

Michelle de Swarte is a really fun lead who elevates the material as best she can and I do appreciate the themes the show delves into, plus I admit I really did enjoy the finale, I just wish we got there sooner.

Gave up

Another terrible British production. My partner wanted to watch it, despite the fact I had low expectations we gave it a go. Pretentious attempt at a sort of quasi Giallo-synth horror score, pointless amounts of swearing to mask the terrible script and a whole lot of very outmoded #girlboss realness.

The sort of production that the Guardian will award a 5 star review, of course.

Superb morbidity

Odd concept babies being adorable haunting killers that is especially well made by HBO! I've been curious about this series it seems solid so far, hard to know what to think but I'm intrigued the pilot is brilliant madness. Has dark comedy, it's mostly bizarre and mystery all mashed in perfectly!

Baby is the Best

One episode in and my interest has been captured. The baby's 'acting' glances and stares made me laugh out loud! So cute and funny as portrayed. But the bad part is how difficult the english is to understand to the point I needed subtitles. And I hate subtitles because I miss the acting. All things considered it is a plot worthy of a good show that is well made.

UPDATE: Watching episode 7 now and still interested and surprised. I've also gotten better at understanding and comprehending the speech and plot. It got a bit slow at times, but worth continuing the journey. Cheers UK friends!!

Babylicious

I hate cookie cutter formulaic movies and series. While I have only seen one episode, I was intrigued with how this story would unfold. The opening scene puts you on pins and needles. The tension around the main character's life is very realistic and relatable. It unfolds into a beautiful disaster and the simultaneous adornment of the baby's giggle makes it that much more disturbing. I look forward to seeing where this goes, but for now, this show seems well worth the watch.
